    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    Absolutely agree. Raising any issue for discussion is a positive. I’m not seeing that approach to a lot of after game posts

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    I don’t see much post game coaching decision “talk about” or speculation. I see a lot of second-guessing, complaining, hindsight whining with a complaining, disrespectful and “I know better” than the coaches attitude. As for not making the tourney as a HC, CDS was only a HC once before. He was...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    I like Sacko. I like him a lot and obviously so do the coaches. He is going to be a contributor off the bench with a lot more minutes as the season progresses. But this was crunch time in the final minutes of a game that was close enough to win. Down 1 point at 4 minutes. 2 points at 2:55. CSD...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    It was a coach’s decision, not a fan or alum decision. IMHO, GT’s collective coaching staff is not ignorant of their players’ stats, abilities & liabilities and know far better than any of us who should be playing at any given time in any given game. 12 games into their first season with a 8-4...

    Yep. And neither Houston nor SDSU go deep into their bench. Today’s college athletes are in such great physical condition they play so fast at both ends & rarely need a blow. Good defense leads to more transition scoring and better offense production. It also helps teams stay close and even win...

    What has surprised you so far this year?

    Once Ndongo decommitted the rumors had him following Hobbs well before he announced. Was not a well kept secret. I think we were all trying to figure out what we were getting. And then an injury kept him hidden. Then suddenly he burst on the scene and has wowed us ever since. I guess Hobbs knows...

    I think Ryan Hammer needs to find a better use of his free time

    What has surprised you so far this year?

    The opposite I would think. Ndongo was set on going to Rutgers. He came here because of Coach Hobbs and that might be why Moore left.

    That’s exactly why I listened to the entire interview & you can easily miss it if you don’t listen carefully since only a few minutes of this chat addresses the Tech team and Abram is never mentioned by name. CDS has no issue with players coming at him. Assume he means arguing and disagreeing...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    I don’t see any point to all this second guessing of personnel decisions made by CDS during the game. That’s fine when a coach is a proven bust after a couple of seasons, but Stoudamire is experienced and a proven success as a player and coach at every level of amateur & pro hoops going back to...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    Sacko was unrated out of HS and as a true freshman, CDS is getting him some experience here and there, but probably figured Blackshear would have eaten him up alive. Sacko will get more minutes and eventually contribute, but he is way too far behind Ndongo & George in readiness at this level...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    Wholeheartedly agree, but I like GTNavyNuke’s optimistic prognostication. And let’s not forget that Nevada is a very good team, NET 36, RPI 16, and 3 votes in the coaches poll. Tech was down by 1 at 4 minutes and Alford had to call a timeout. They were down by 2 at 2:55. Even with poor shooting...

    2023 Holiday Break - GT in the Diamond Head Classic

    Friday night December 15, 2023, at 5-3, the team left Atlanta for NY on the start of a 4 game neutral site stretch, including a 9 hour flight to Hawaii. I challenge anyone to say they expected a return to Atlanta with an 8-4 record. After ball handling, inbounding & high turnovers game after...

    They also did a much better job of taking care of the ball, even during the Hawaii’s defensive adjustment and Tech’s scoring drought. 9 turnovers for the entire game. Bad fouls compounded their second half slide. Too many free points with clock stopped. They kept from fouling in the last few...

    I would love to see a replay of the Baldwin goaltending block by Gapare. We were at other end. Looked very close from our seats.

    I don’t remember that either. I think there might have been 1 post questioning whether Claude could play as well in the ACC.

    Also, according to Deebo Coleman’s mom, the team flew into NY late Friday, not arriving at their hotel until midnight to be game ready by noon.
